A busy day on the MLB schedule today.

$60 on Tampa Bay (Hellickson) over ChiSox (Axelrod) -1 1/2 @ +115

Hellickson is 3-0 with a 1.42 ERA in his last 3 starts. Axelrod doesn't have any decisions in his last 3, but carries a hefty 5.94 ERA. The Rays have won 5 of their last 6 games and the White Sox have lost 7 of 9.

$40 on Cincinnati (Leake) over Seattle (Harang) -1 1/2 @ +110

Leake is 7-3 with a 2.52 ERA this season. Harang is 3-7 with a 5.08. The Reds have won 4 of their last 5 and the Mariners have dropped 5 of 8.

$20 on Colorado (De La Rosa) over Arizona (Skaggs) -1 1/2 @ +115

De La Rosa is 1-0 witha tidy 1.42 ERA in his last 3 trips to the bump. Skaggs is 1-1 with a 5.40 in 3 starts. The D-Backs have lost 5 of their last 7 games.

$20 @ +120 on ChiCubs (Samardzija) over Pittsburgh (Liriiano)

A match up of two pitchers that are throwing well. A good opportunity for the home dog to pull the upset.

$20 @ +115 on Kansas City (Davis) over Oakland (Milone)

Neither starter is able to get anyone out right now. I'm taking the +115 on a toss up game.

$20 @ +105 on NY Yankees (Nova) over Baltimore (Gonzales)

Hard not to take the Pinstripers as a home dog.

Starting Bankroll                          $1,500.00
Profit/Loss                                       ($71.50)
